The Cochin Devaswom Board (CDB) decided to let film crews, yup, even non-Hindu actors, shoot inside the temple, and that’s kicked off a petition. Dileep Menon, the guy behind this petition, isn’t too happy about it.
Why the Fuss?
Menon is saying that letting these film crews into the temple is a big no-no when it comes to respecting its traditions and rituals. Temples are super important, and he thinks the CDB is totally missing the point by ignoring these customs. To make things even messier, it looks like the tantri, or chief priest, wasn’t even consulted before the board made this call.
This whole situation brings up some serious questions about how places of worship handle tradition in the modern world. With the High Court getting involved, it’s clear this is a big deal, and they want some answers from the CDB. Will the film industry’s needs take priority over religious feelings? That’s the big question on everyone’s mind.
